Arsenal v Vorskla Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League 20th September 7.55pm
Arsenal kick off their Europa League campaign against Vorskla on Thursday night and the Gunners will be looking for a comfortable start.

Read our predictions for the Arsenal v Vorskla fixture.
Arsenal News and Form
The Gunners will be looking to secure a good early three home points in the Europa League. From their ten previous games against Ukrainian clubs the Gunners are W4 D2 L4 and from them, they have scored fifteen and have conceded fifteen. While everything is even there, we are going to back the Gunners to get a strong result here and indeed for our Arsenal v Vorskla predictions we are going to back the Gunners to win to nil at 4/6 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 2:12 p.m.).
Arsenal are on a three-match winning streak at the moment but defensively they haven’t quite gotten things together. That is because they are still searching for their first clean sheet of the season and we believe it will come in this one. With that in mind an Arsenal 2-0 correct score at 5/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 2:12 p.m.). Arsenal, in what was their first ever Europa League campaign, reached the semi-finals where they were stopped by Atletico Madrid. Arsenal’s home form last season in Europe was W4 D2 L1. They are W4 D1 in their five previous home games against Ukrainian opposition.
Vorskla News and Form
Vorskla finished third in last season’s Ukrainian Premier League, and that was their joint-highest ever finish. The Ukrainians are in their seventh European camping and this will be just their second Europa League group stage campaign. In that first one, they only collected two points and finished bottom. The last time that they got an away win on the board in Europe was back in the 2011/12 Europa League play-off round against Dinamo Bucharest. They are D2 L3 in their five away games in Europe since them.
